title: [IgG therapy of experimental E. coli sepsis in neutropenic mice].
abstract: The treatment of Ceftriaxone and IgG in neutropenic (Group A), and in normal (Group B) mice were investigated in experimental E. coli sepsis. IgG was obtained from the rabbits immunized with same strain. The inoculum dose of infection was 4 x 10(8) bacteria/ml in the experiment. The two groups were divided into four subgroups; Control, IgG. Ceftriaxone and Ceftriaxone + IgG groups. The mortality rates of mice in both groups and bacteria growing in organ cultures are investigated and compared. IgG treatment reduced the mortality in the normal mice, but no significant difference was found between two groups. An addition of IgG to Ceftriaxone treatment significantly decreased the mortality rate in both of the groups (p less than 0.05). But a significant difference was not observed between two subgroups treated with IgG and Ceftriaxone.
